Kevin Richards and myself went to Nascar on sunday with V.I.P “Hot Passes” courtesy of Redbull and spent the day in pit row hanging out with #83 driver Brian Vickers and the rest of the crew. We were able to talk to Vickers before the race and we got into a conversation about surfing. He’s tried it a few times in Costa Rica and California and was psyched talking about particular sessions he’s had and spots he surfed. It’s probably not often that surfing is brought up at Nascar events and it was cool to see him so stoked talking about it…

Nascar with the Redbull Racing Team!!!

Went to Dover yesterday with V.I.P “Hot Passes” courtesy of Redbull and spent the day in pit row hanging out with #83 driver Brian Vickers and the rest of the crew. I was able to talk to Vickers before the race and we got into a conversation about surfing. He’s tried it a few times in Costa Rica and California and was psyched talking about particular sessions he’s had and spots he surfed. It’s probably not often that surfing is brought up at Nascar events and it was cool to see him so stoked talking about it minutes before…

Back home, but with new friendships and memories!

The best part about traveling is how you always seem to meet the coolest people! My trip to Hatteras had more than its fair share of rad new humans to hang out with. Crusing with the Ergo crew and Real watersports team made for an epic 10 day adventure!! Its impossible to claim one session the best, but this night surf was without a doubt the funniest! Between C-Dog (holding the flash) and Elkus (shooting) getting pounded on the inside and us not being able to see the wave we’re riding, this session had a bunch of amazing wipeouts…

Fun on the Outer Banks

Written By Rob Kelly on September 20th, 2009 with No Comments.

Ive been hanging out with the whole crew from Ergo in Rodanthe the past week.They are down for Easterns and came a week early after claims from Shea Lopez saying there would be fun surf even tho all the reports were calling it to be flat. Pete and the good guys at Ergo let me tag along and sure enough, against all odds, Shea was right and we scored perfect little tubes at a sandbar near by. Check out the full gallery at transworldsurf.com The photos were shot by Bryan Elkus from Real Watersports. Real is hosting the Easterns…

After being asked to play the role as a contributing blogger for the Surfers Candy I was eager to get started right away. I set up my account, updated my profile, and added some photos but when it came to publishing my first post my process came to a halt. What was I going to write about?? I could write about my contest in Virginia Beach this weekend or post a new video but you can find results and videos on any surf info site. That’s whats so awesome about surfers candy. Living up to the words on the…
